Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What parasites does Durvet Ivermectin Paste 1.87% target?

Ans: Durvet Ivermectin Paste 1.87% is labeled to treat and control a broad range of equine parasites, including large and small strongyles, pinworms, ascarids, hairworms, large-mouth stomach worms, bots, lungworms, and intestinal threadworms when administered correctly.

Q2: How does ivermectin work as a dewormer for horses?

Ans:  Ivermectin is an anthelmintic and boticide used to remove internal parasites and bots. The label indicates effectiveness against multiple worm stages and bot stages in horses when the correct dose is given based on current body weight.

Q3: How do you dose the syringe by horse weight?

Ans:  The syringe is designed so each plunger marking treats 250 lb of body weight, and one full syringe treats up to 1,250 lb. Set and lock the dose ring at the correct marking to match the horse’s current weight.

Q4: What is the best way to administer the paste?

Ans: Make sure the horse’s mouth contains no feed, remove the syringe cap, insert the tip into the mouth at the space between teeth, and depress the plunger to place paste on the back of the tongue. Briefly raise the head after dosing.

Q5: How often should horses be dewormed with ivermectin paste?

Ans: A parasite control schedule depends on age, exposure risk, and management. Label guidance recommends including horses in a regular parasite control program, treating foals initially at 6–8 weeks of age, and consulting a veterinarian to tailor the timing and monitoring.

Q6: Is Durvet Ivermectin Paste 1.87% safe for pregnant mares and breeding stallions?

Ans: Label information states the product may be used in horses of all ages, including mares at any stage of pregnancy. Stallions may also be treated without adverse effects on fertility when the product is administered according to the labeled directions.

Q7: Can this ivermectin paste be used in dogs or other animals?

Ans: No. The label states the formulation is for horses only and should not be used in other animal species. Severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result. Use a species-appropriate product that is explicitly recommended for the animal in question.

Q8: How soon will results be noticeable after dosing?

Ans: The product is labeled to remove worms and bots with a single dose, but visible changes vary. Many parasites are internal and not easily observed. Follow a veterinarian-guided parasite control plan and consider fecal testing to assess effectiveness.

Q9: What side effects or reactions should horse owners watch for?

Ans: Some horses with severe neck threadworm infections may experience swelling and itching reactions after treatment, likely due to the death of microfilariae. Symptomatic treatment may be advisable. Contact a veterinarian if reactions occur or if summer sores do not improve.
